Long gone are the days where lingerie and undergarments are the only ways you could rock the delicate fabric known as lace. Lately, designers are making use of the seductive fabric for pieces you would leave the house in. While there are some lace-as-RTW pieces that go too far into the trashy department in our opinion, other pieces are tastefully done enough to leave you looking on trend and mega sexy. Ready to lace it up? We'll show you how.

The Lace Ponte Dress from Barlow is a long-sleeve mini made entirely of black lace. We love the sweetheart neckline and how the sleeves offer a sheer look. This crew neck mini looks demure from the front, but daring from the back with its deep scoop feature. Wear this out during the day with a pair of leggings and oxfords, or dress it up for night with booties and strands of pearls.

Our next pick is great for cocktails out with the girls. The Peek Thru Lace Skirt by Robert Rodriguez offers a black, straightforward look until the wavy bottom hem. We love the lace lining along the bottom and the romantic feel we get from this look. Pair this skirt with a soft, button down blouse and layered necklaces to keep onlookers' imaginations flowing.

Our last pick is from fashion genius, Alexander Wang. The Lace Shirt is a unique way to add the appropriate amount of sex appeal to an otherwise demure look. This sheer button down features a solid black collar, button closure, and sleeve ends. We would recommend pairing this top with a black bandeau or bra. Don’t forget to pile on our pearls to focus more attention on your look than the sheer fabric. The extra long sleeves add interest, while the velvet contouring adds style.

What do you think of an all-lace look? Is this more your style or too racy for your liking?
